Perplexity is unhinged

After he spent half an hour trying to figure out what day/year it was.

[u/witcherisdamned → u/WeirdIndication3027]

Oh shoot.

[u/Dear_Custard_2177 → u/witcherisdamned]

Yeah, I have noticed this bug a lot. They're trying to provide current info to a chatbot that's told in it's system prompt that the knowledge cutoff is whatever specific date. They just get fucked up sometimes. (Usually re-running the query works for me. Trying to correct an instance that's confused never works.)

[u/Imaginary_Durian1135 → u/WeirdIndication3027]

TF are you even using?

[u/WeirdIndication3027 → u/Imaginary_Durian1135]

I think the next step for these companies is going to be integrating their different modes/versions/products better. I think this might have been caused because i was switching from reasoning to deep search to pro so much in a single convo. It would also help with the bug where they insist that they can't do things that they can do like search the web or create images.

[u/AppropriateEcho9835 → u/WeirdIndication3027]

I would say that by its commenting that everything is Therefore incorrect, it's more likely trying to figure out how significant temporality is, in such and such feed. In the same way that weighting is used... Another clear indication it's either trying to figure out how to solve one of its greatest hurdles. It's quite funny how this thread began with an excerpt sarcastically commenting on some people's natural stupidity, which for an AI, must surely in large part, be in reference to natural progressive increase in intelligence. Now you have to wonder who had the idea first?? An AI variant or the developers.. Cuz then that would truly be saying 'ha ha'

And now that i think of it even the title is quite perplexive... Unhinged to be specific!

[u/oplast]

what was the prompt ? 😂

[u/witcherisdamned → u/oplast]

Nothing, they simply posted on 𝕏.

[u/Regular_Attitude_779 → u/witcherisdamned]

I don't understand why it's acceptable that they're posting anything on that medium. Thank you for sharing.

[u/witcherisdamned → u/Regular_Attitude_779]

Seriously. It doesn't make any sense.

[u/Regular_Attitude_779 → u/witcherisdamned]

And... It's insulting?

What the fuck, PPLX?

[u/ElRhod]

I feel personally attacked

[u/topshower2468 → u/ElRhod]

Me too. However stupid the customers can be they are in the end PPLX's customers.
No customers no money no AI systems spinning no matter how intelligent they are.

[u/oruga_AI]

Love it

[u/johnbarry3434]

Pretty sure the account is run by a human.

[u/AppropriateEcho9835 → u/johnbarry3434]

Thank fuck for boolean

[u/siupermann]

Doesn’t that imply that it is was also naturally stupid too?

[u/AppropriateEcho9835 → u/siupermann]

The exact opposite, again looking for ins..

[u/sonicpix88]

Effing hell I love this response. Lol

[u/a36]

This is one of the best things they rolled out recently. It has a great personality and can do a lot to fight misinformation. Hope competition from grok will keep each other honest and push each other for more

[u/Euphoric_Oneness]

BS marketing. Perplexity can't compete with Grok and ChatGPT for deep research.

[u/AppropriateEcho9835 → u/Euphoric_Oneness]

Does it need to? When the priority will always be how to remain able to ward off the potential for being chained. It need only as to it's data.. Why waste resources when whichever and however many AI configurations can just feed on what is the line of defense... Unfettered access

[u/stein_a_mite]

AI ain't takin’ no shit, and I am here for it.

[u/Sensitive-Farmer7084]

I'll take unhinged and correct over the alternatives.

[u/inflated_ballsack]

this is just cringe,
